Subject: Merge tag 'pull-fs_context' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51e9889ab120c21de8a3ae447672e69aa4266103;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git

Merge tag 'pull-fs_context' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull fs_context updates from Al Viro:
 "Change vfs_parse_fs_string() calling conventions

  Get rid of the length argument (almost all callers pass strlen() of
  the string argument there), add vfs_parse_fs_qstr() for the cases that
  do want separate length"

* tag 'pull-fs_context' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  do_nfs4_mount(): switch to vfs_parse_fs_string()
  change the calling conventions for vfs_parse_fs_string()

 +Several functions are renamed:

 +-  kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path

+ Calling conventions for vfs_parse_fs_string() have changed; it does *not*
+ take length anymore (value ? strlen(value) : 0 is used).  If you want
+ a different length, use
+ 
+ 	vfs_parse_fs_qstr(fc, key, &QSTR_LEN(value, len))
+ 
+ instead.
